Yesterday was a good day, the soreness is finally gone, the bruises are still there, but they no longer hurt. So all good. I think I might exercise today
Have a great day !6 -
@Gidgitgoescrzy Your story took me back to the last time Brad and I went rafting in a tube and we both finished the experience saying "never again". We, like you, left sore, banged up, and there were honest moments we were fearful. I so feel for you and your friend and I'm so sorry it turned out that way. Glad you made it out without any serious injuries... scary for sure!
@wishfuljune When I know I won't have time to give my dog her proper walk after work I do the same (put her into her dog daycare for the day)! Totally get that strategy.
We are currently in the car driving west to Kamloops so it gives me a bit of time to catch up on here. Saturday Brad rides his bike from Vancouver to Whistler, with 2300 m of elevation! The one I did with him in July was just over 1000 m so I can appreciate what a feat it will be.
Speaking of the Rocky Mountains.. I'm in them now and it's just the most beautiful thing. Anyone who hasn't experienced it really should put it on their list!!3 -

Hi everyone! I'm Michele, 59, a first grade teacher, living just outside Philadelphia in Pennsylvania USA. I'm married 40 years and have two grown kids and a 5 year old granddaughter that I adore. I have been with this team since 2019 and I am currently floundering. I am just about back where I was when I started. I thought I had all these great new habits mastered, but I made choices to ignore so many of the things I learned. I don't feel good when I wake up in the morning. I'm stiff, feeling pain in my joints, tired, and unmotivated. While I am confessing, I am having way too many desserts, especially ice cream almost nightly. So that's where I am. Oh, and also have been avoiding checking in here like that will somehow make it not so. I honestly am feeling like I can't do this. Don't have it in me anymore. I know my body would feel better with some weight off of it, but can't make myself do anything. My breakfast and lunch is usually pretty good, but then dinner can get heavy on the calories sometimes, then there are all the snacks.
I am hoping that September can be better than recent months. Not sure I have posted a month with a net loss in months and months. Right before I moved I was a pound and a half from Onderland. Then, piled on a dozen pounds in the past 4 months.
I need to log, drink my water, exercise and check in here. That is the formula that works. I know that and yet don't do it. Mindset change needed here. No more apathy.
@ashleycarole86 I will turn in my steps this month and use my 7,000 step goal daily.
@Gidgitgoescrzy Vikki, so glad you survived that scary tubing outing and that you're feeling better.
@jugar You are not kidding about this heat! It is like an oven. One of my little first graders literally burned her leg on a swing today. Luckily no blisters, but there was a huge red mark.
Here's hoping September can be green.5 -

Starting the month off in the green! 😊
From last Saturday to today, my average net calories are 1,829. This also takes into account Saturday & Sunday, where I consumed about 2,200 net calories on average. This is a good reminder to me about how to approach the weekends. Last weekend I had a potluck and I went out to lunch with a friend with minimal exercise because we were doing a lot of things at the house.
So a mini-challenge for myself! My in-laws and my family are visiting this Saturday. We are going out to dinner, so I am going to challenge myself to consider:
1 drink at dinner
if I want a dessert, I am splitting it with my husband
Drink plenty of water throughout the day
Get more protein this weekend; that was my lowest macro for last weekend
I am also doing a 45 minute spin class on Saturday, so getting the extra calorie burn will certainly help too 😉5 -
Friday Weigh-In

Not surprised at a small gain - definitely wasn't on top of eating or movement this week. Work was crazy but vacation starts today! I fly to Wisconsin at 1pm. No time for a proper intro as I still have to pack and clean my apartment!!
But I'm Kay, 28, living in Boston, struggle with binge eating and lack of motivation - really enjoying being back with this group after initially joining in Aug 2020. I am bringing my planner on the plane so I can think through all my goals for September, including those focused on the health side of things. Will report back! 5 -
Yesterday was a win... It was a very stressful day at work, lots of fraud going on. If you don't have to mail a check, don't do it!
Anyway, go home, had dinner, then hubby was like I'm making an ice cream sundae, would you like one?
Nope, NO THANK YOU... And the best part, I didn't even think twice, I just didn't want it....
I think I am going to get in a nice long walk tomorrow morning and get this exercise stuff started.
Have a great day !

We're heading out of town today. Which means eating out. I have to stay focused, drink water and watch what I eat. We'll be back on Monday and I just want to maintain over the weekend.
Have a great weekend everyone.6 -

This felt great because we were in the car most of the day driving to Kamloops. We got our steps by walking to the restaurant and back. However, Google Maps tried to kill us on the way.. the way it took us was over this steep embankment and I had sandals on and of course we were also worried about Brad slipping before his race... anyway we made it and took a different way home but holy heck! Also, Kamloops is HILLY... people who live here must have amazing calves!!6 -
Lovely @micki48 ... I didn't even take your name off from before so you're all set! Glad to have your steps2

Aloha Friday
CW: 216
A bit of an increase, but I can’t be upset. We went camping with family and had the “bestest” time!! Now back to reality.5 -
oh how quickly I get derailed. Crazy day at work, things coming at me fast and furious, stayed late, then home to be updated by my sister on my dad's nurse visit & the outgoing caregiver's outsized interest in locating a box of briefs. Ate a quick PB&J while listening. Then more work to finish, then the hersey bars in fridge - should have known I just can NOT buy more than one for my dad at a time. They're gone now and he got a little. But I"ve recovered now and will just log it all and move on, indulged in chocolate, will not indulge in the weekend wine/beer instead.6

Happy to see a tiny loss. But I’ll be more happy when this food in transit exits. My body is resisting my new teaching schedule. Ugh!4 -
Happy Saturday!
I finally got home late last evening and did not go online at all. Had a lovely birthday party with my sister @EvMakesChanges There was very healthy salad. Then there was the most decadent maple ice cream pie. It was seriously amazing. The mega heatwave seems to be over also, so I'm heading for the barn to see how Jasper is doing. Catch you later!
Go Brad Go!!3
